SHOT DEAD.
Asbury Blagden of Randolph, Meets a
sudden and Violent Death.

One of the saddest accidents that has
happened for some time in the quiet town of
Pittston occurred yesterday forenoon, at
about 1920 o'clock st what is known as the
"Widow Kings Bridge" over Meadow
Brook, on a cross road from the South
Windsor road to the ToQus road, about three
miles from Gardiner. Yesterday morning,
Asbury Blagien, young man about Is years
Of age, residing in Randolph, started with
bis dog and gun for day among
the small game that abounds in
the woods in that vicinity. When near
the scene of the accident he met a small boy
named Charlie Pottle, grandson of ''Mose"
Pottle, well-known Gardiner character
The two boys stopped at the bridge to rest
and talk, when a partridge started up in the
woods, little to the east of the bridge.
Young Blagden cooked his gun and stepped out
on the end of one Of the planks of the bridge
to get better shot, when the plank broke,
and he fell forward, the hammer of the gun
striking the next plank, discharging the piece
The charge entered Blagden's neck on the right
side, passing directly through, and coming
out under the left ear killing him instantly
The Pottle boy Immediately gave the alarm
and the selectmen were notified. 1t was late
in the afternoon, however, before a coroner
arrived and the body was removed
The gun which caused the accident was
single.bsrrel, breach loading shot gun, and
was loaded with an unusually large charge of
bird shot.
Young Blagden is step-son Of Jacob Peach
second pilot OF the Star of the East, and was
great tavorite of all who knew him. His
death was great blow to his mother, who
has the sympathy of host of friends in her

CLINTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Resolutions Adopted by the Pomona
Grange.

The following preamble and resolutions
were passed by Pomona Grange of Kennebec
county at their September meeting held at
Clinton:
While The grange is not mediler with
politics as represented by parties, it is its pur-
pose to actively set forth the principles of
truth and justice. Whatever is linked with
mans best nature, and touches his highest
good. is a question of living importance with
US, and one upon which we claim a right TO
be heard. Intemperance is the great sin of,
and against, society. The sun shines every
morning on the lifeless forms of those slain
during the shadows of the preceding night,
by its engineer Of evil The vail of wives
for husbands slain; of mothers for sons in
bondage; of children made orphans; of
human souls 10 the agony of despair; Of suf-
feriug, starving, half max ed degraded, burdened
men and women, is rising up continually as a
witness against the enemy of our civilization,
our homes and our happiness.
The spirit of this enemy has been shown
again and again in the murder of those who
have opposed its ravsge. In arson, as seen,
we think in the fire of the night of Sept. -.
in which not only was property destroyed,
but the lives of innocent children with the
mother were put in terrible danger; and in a
disregard Tor the choicest treasures and most
precious rights of our families and society.
In view of these facts be it resolved by
Pomona Grange, in council assembled at
Clinton, Sept. Is. 1887.
lst, That we extend our sympathy to our
brother, the Master Of Clinton Grange, G. S.
Stevenson, and his family, in the loss they
sustained by the burning of their home on
the night of the 18th inst.
2nd,, We vi l heartily support and cooper
ate with him, in public anu private, in ali
righteous efforts to suppress the liquor traffic
in our county.
3rd, We do also endorse the efforts made
by Jour Governor and those associated with
him, to enforce the provisions of our State
Constitution in relation to the liquor traffic.
And we pledge him cur heartiest support in
this work.
4th, We take this opportunity to declare
ourselves, as a body, in favor of the rigid
enforcement of all laws which do not trench
upon the conscience of the individual; the
proper remedy if one is needed, and the only
one consistent with proper regard for the
prosperity and safety of ocisty being found
in the right of repeal.
The resolutions were passed before the con-
fession duplicating the tramps was made. How
ever, as tramps are the friends of the liquo
traffic, there seems to be no need of modify
ing the resolutions. A tree which bears such
fruit should be destroyed branch and root

IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS.
To be Made in Augusta by the Maine
Central.

1t is expected that crew of men will COM
meEce work on the Name Central track in
this city as early as the first of next week.
There is crew at york now on the Cumber-
land extension, aud another is engaged in
nlllng wash-out made by the last spring
fresh ct near Somerset. Whichever of these
crews completes its present work first will
probably be sent here. The bank wall in the
rear of the ground formerly occupied by the
repair shops will be broadened out and two
side tracks will be laid here making a
yard for keeping cars. One of these
sidlngs will probably be extended to
the State turnout whefe the road will be Wild
ened some on the river side and something
cut of from the point. The bed OF the main
Track will be raised some inches A new
stand pipe will be erected a short distance
below the round house between the side and
the main tracks so that engines may supply
their boilers with water from either track. A
new iron rail will take the place of the old
fence on Rines' hill, and the bank wall there
will be put IN repair. The Maine Central has
made many Improvements the last year, but
we think none have been more needed than
these contemplated at Augusta. We are in
formed that during the past year thirty-fou
miles of new heavy steel rail track has been
